Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

As Liu Ming's disheveled figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, the tension in the club lobby, which had been built up because of the two women, suddenly eased.

The young men who had been watching the spectacle, seeing that the main characters had all left, all felt bored and made excuses to disperse.

The huge rest area was suddenly left with only Nangong Yao and Xi Wanqing.

Also, there was an untouched, exquisitely arranged fruit platter on the table.

A faint smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air.

"hehe."

In the end, it was Nangong Yao who laughed first.

She dropped her previous domineering queen-like demeanor, casually picked up a slice of watermelon, took a bite, and spoke with a hint of helpless self-deprecation.

"It seems the two of us really scared him."

Xi Wanqing, too, slowly let go of the airs she had always maintained as a deputy director-level official.

She glanced at the seat Liu Ming had just sat in, and a complex emotion flashed in her cool eyes.

"He's not afraid of us."

Her voice was very soft.

"He's afraid of... trouble."

"Yes." Nangong Yao nodded, unusually not refuting, "This man isn't afraid of anything, except trouble. Especially trouble caused by women."

At this moment, the two equally intelligent and proud women seemed to have reached some kind of wonderful consensus.

A brief silence fell over the room.

"You already knew why he came to the provincial capital this time, didn't you?"

After a long silence, Xi Wanqing spoke first.

Her gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing straight into Nangong Yao's heart.

Nangong Yao did not avoid it.

She put down the watermelon in her hand, wiped her hands, and for the first time, a solemn expression appeared in her usually alluring peach blossom eyes.

"I know a little."

"Luo Binwang".

When this name came out of Nangong Yao's mouth.

The temperature in the entire room seemed to drop several degrees.

"He is not only an obstacle in Liu Ming's career."

Nangong Yao's voice was cold.

"And even more so, his irreconcilable...father's killer."

"boom!"

Although I had already guessed it in my heart.

But when this cruel truth was confirmed by word of mouth.

Xi Wanqing's body swayed almost imperceptibly.

She finally understood.

Why did that man always carry an unyielding loneliness and...sorrow?

He finally understood why he had to act so recklessly in this treacherous officialdom, almost in a self-destructive manner.

He's seeking revenge!

He was doing it in his own way to seek justice for his father who died unjustly!

"So," Nangong Yao looked at her, her eyes becoming incredibly serious, "Xi Wanqing, I didn't come here today to steal your man."

"I'm here to discuss a 'deal' with you."

"trade?"

"That's right."

Nangong Yao stood up and walked in front of Xi Wanqing, instantly unleashing her powerful aura as a business tycoon!

"He is now facing a ravenous wolf that has been entrenched in Jiangnan Province for decades, a wolf that devours people without spitting out the bones!"

"It would be too difficult and too dangerous for him to fight alone."

"He needs help."

"And we," Nangong Yao pointed to herself, then to Xi Wanqing, "...are his two strongest trump cards!"

Xi Wanqing looked at her without saying a word.

However, her unconsciously clenched fists betrayed her inner turmoil.

"You, Xi Wanqing."

Nangong Yao's voice was filled with undeniable power.

"Behind you is the Xi family of Beijing, the highest level of power in China! You can protect him in officialdom and clear away obstacles from within the system!"

"And I am Nangong Yao."

Her eyes sparkled with a dazzling light, like diamonds!

"Behind me is the Nangong Group, a business empire with wealth beyond measure, spanning the globe! I can provide him with a continuous stream of funding and intelligence support in the business world, utterly crushing all his enemies!"

"One, in Christ."

"One, responsible for external affairs."

"One, in power."

"One, in charge of money."

Nangong Yao stretched out her hand, her slender hand, painted with delicate red nail polish, and stopped in front of Xi Wanqing.

"Let's join forces."

"Be the most unbreakable...wings behind him!"

"Clear away all the obstacles for him!"

"Help him stand at the highest peak of power!"

"Then……"

A playful smile curved at the corners of Nangong Yao's lips.

"...After he has avenged his great grudge and achieved fame and success."

"Let's have a fair competition again, just the two of us."

"Look at his heart, to whom it truly belongs."

"How is it?"

"Deputy Secretary Xi."

"Are you going to do this 'deal' or not?"

……

The room was deathly silent.

Only the faint sound of the wind outside the window.

Xi Wanqing looked at the proud, confident, and fatally charming woman in front of her.

Her heart, which had become somewhat cold due to jealousy and hostility, was completely ignited at this moment by an unprecedented, blazing flame!

She smiled.

That smile was cold, yet filled with boundless fighting spirit!

She reached out and grasped Nangong Yao's hand tightly.

Those two hands, the most beautiful and the most dangerous, enough to make the entire Jiangnan Province tremble, clasped tightly together at this moment!

"make a deal."

……

Ten minutes later.

When Liu Ming returned to the hall with a feeling of trepidation, as if she were going to her execution,

The anticipated cataclysmic battle did not materialize.

Instead, he saw a harmonious scene that made his jaw drop.

Nangong Yao and Xi Wanqing, the two women who just moments ago seemed to want to kill each other with their eyes, were now sitting together.

He was holding two glasses of scarlet 82 Lafite.

A smile, as intimate as that of a best friend, graced her face.

Are you having a very pleasant conversation?

"Holy shit..."

Liu Ming rubbed her eyes, feeling that she must be hallucinating.

"You're back?"

Nangong Yao was the first to discover him.

She raised her glass to him, her smile captivating.

"Come on, Hero Liu, Deputy Secretary Xi and I have just reached a great strategic alliance."

"Just getting ready, let's drink to you and our friendship."

"Are you coming too?"

Xi Wanqing also turned her head and looked into his cold eyes, which held a hint of amusement that Liu Ming couldn't understand.

"Yes, Director Liu."

"Come here quickly."

"We've been waiting for you."

Liu Ming looked at the two women in front of him, their smiles as cunning as foxes, which sent chills down his spine. He then glanced at the crimson wine in their hands, which looked like blood.

He shivered for no apparent reason.

He felt as if he had fallen from one hellish battlefield into an even more terrifying spider cave.

He even had a premonition.

My future days will probably be even more...exciting than my battle of wits with Luo Binwang.
